Doesn't really matter as it's looking like any one of the remaining teams may just be lamb to the slaughter against tOSU.


So you mean this 12 team thing with NIL and the portal ends up with the program (a common 4 team CFP participant) that spent the most NIL on their roster winning it all. Yet, the team wouldn't have been in a four team playoff this year if it were the old system.

Yes, we've really made it much more even now.

UGA has played better teams and has been in playoffs - advantage UGA


To be honest, Notre Dame is just a clone of Tennessee with a bit worse passing game and a bit better running game.

UGA's already tested themselves against a ND type team. They won by 14.

Expect to see a bunch of TE’s running all over the place to convert 3rd downs while everyone plays up to stop the run and the DBs are covering downfield.

This is not BK’s ND. They are big, tough and fundamentally sound. The DB’s can single UGA’s average wr’s and the safeties can support the run game.


Georgia will very likely win the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and simply wear ND down. The ND defensive line was small to begin with and is now without their best player.

The ND running attack has not faced a defense with as much speed as Georgia has at the LB position. They may break a few plays but not consistently.

Gunner can play action enough to open up screens and TE releases. I'm glad that Todd Monken has weighed in on which plays he thinks will work best for Gunner. But as Saban pointed out, Georgia did not deviate from their game plan after Gunner took over.

The backup QB did it for 2 quarters against Texas.

Can he do it for 12 more to win it all? I don't think so.


You might be right but Beck was not good this year. I turned to my buddy when he was knocked out and said this was bad for us.

I agree on the Gunner hype. Too early, too soon. Sure, I want / hope that he balls out. But I’m holding my horses.

I think Gunner got way too much credit for the SEC Championship. He played ok, not great.


Don't think there's any way they win today. Gunner couldn't throw at all. The coaches knew it and you could tell by their playcalling. When they finally did let him throw a bit out of desperation to move the ball, he almost cost them the game.

I think Kirby had enough time to get the UGA D back to being a force. UGA wins a close, low scoring game.

Good luck Dawgs. Out of the remaining teams, I dislike you the least.

He can throw. He’s accurate and has a strong arm.

He has a slow release and doesn’t throw levels very well.

Are we just going to ignore all of the state high school passing records that he owns?

If people keep saying it, one day they may be right.

Stockton was a four-year starter at Rabun County High. As a senior in 2021, he completed 71.3% of his pass attempts for 4,134 yards with 55 touchdowns and one interception. He also ran for 956 yards with 15 scores. In four seasons, Stockton accumulated 13,652 passing yards with 177 touchdowns and 4,372 rushing yards with 77 scores.

Stockton broke Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence's state record for career touchdown passes and Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's state mark for career total yardage.

Stockton ran for seven more touchdowns than current Detroit Lions tailback Jahmyr Gibbs, who had 70 at Dalton High School from 2017 to 2019.

I could see that happening . Nd’s best cover LB is out I think even though he’s listed as questionable

I'm actually pulling for you guys to lose because I don't want Texas to be thrown out first.

Isn't that pathetic? This is what I've come to.
